firsthanding the ball off to harry reid. when harry reid couldn't get anywhere. he handed it off to joe biden. i think this is not a congress that distinguished itself. in particular, the united states senate which hasn't passed a budge net how many years now? so i think the house at least has done its job. it has passed an alternative for example for the sequester cuts. it did come up with a plan to avert the tax increases across the brd? the senate has really done nothing. and it is amazing to me that people would ask for their jobs back. when they haven't been able to do their jobs in any meaningful sense in the last few years. >> jennifer, listen. i'm in a charitable mood. i've been defending congress. these people were elect ped sop clearly somebody believes they need to elect these rigid dog mattic individuals that won't budge. >> i don't mind so much that they are dogmatic. i would like for them to put forth the foe seerable course. what does harry reid believe? what does chuck schumer believe? let them put something on the table, go through a congress and
